West Hillhurst

We're not just Calgary real estate agents. We are in fact West Hillhurst real estate agents! That's because we chose this community to live in ourselves.

Living in West Hillhurst, we know the community and real estate here extremely well, and this in turn puts The A-Team in a powerful position when it comes to selling homes in the neighbourhood (and surrounding areas like plain old Hillhurst). We've helped lots of people buy and sell in West Hillhurst - it's easy to sell when you love your product, and the community is such a huge part of why we love our own home. Why do we love it here?

West Hillhurst is nestled on the north bank of the Bow River, between 18th St and 28th St, and south of the hill which leads up to St Andrew's Heights and Briar Hill. It isn't just surrounded by impressive vistas and walking trails - it's jeweled with off-leash dog parks, playgrounds, quality schools, and most importantly...ice cream/gelato stores, namely Amato on Kensington.

Despite its location on the river, we're relatively safe from flooding, according to the Alberta Government flood hazard map, on account of flood defences along this section of Memorial Drive. We also love that West Hillhurst is also well connected to the rest of the city by Crowchild Trail.

Yes, in urban (inner city) real estate, the natural geography of any community is crucial to supporting value, and so are shops, restaurants & amenities. But we haven't yet touched on the vast importance of location from the perspective of walkability and bike-ability to centres of quality employment. So, how does West Hillhurst stand up as compared to other Calgary neighbourhoods? In short, it might be the best...

The Foothills hospital complex, Children's Hospital (to which we donate through the Children's Miracle Network), and Tom Baker Cancer Centre, crest the hill to the northwest, and the downtown area is a (flat) 5km bike ride away to the east. Downtown Calgary still supports Alberta's Energy industry and offers large volumes of well-paid engineering/accounting/legal positions, but also a nascent/growing technology industry. This northwest neighbourhood is quite literally surrounded by sources of high-income jobs.

If you're thinking of moving to, from, or within West Hillhurst, we'd love to support you in your journey. As you know, we love this community as you do, so we've already taken our first steps together...
